It has been, after all, 11 years, more than a decade now, of defiance of U.N. resolutions by Saddam Hussein. Every obligation that he signed onto after the Gulf War, so that he would not be a threat to peace and security, he has ignored and flaunted.

It is high time that the international community tell Saddam Hussein and his regime that this is not an issue of negotiation with the U.N. about obligations that they undertook in 1991.

Kim Jong-un's style is more suggestive of Saddam Hussein or his murderous son, Uday Hussein.

I don't think anybody can take the word of Saddam Hussein and his regime, and certainly an American president and allies who are obligated to worry about the safety and security of our countries, cannot take the word of this dictator, who lies, pathologically lies.

Planning and preparations for Iraq after Saddam Hussein were wholly inadequate.

Saddam Hussein was a horrible man, and I am pleased he is no longer running Iraq. But the war was wrong.
